# Theme functionality missing from custom post

 * I just installed CPT UI after watching a video from Justin at CSS-Tricks.
 * When I goto the new post type I created, the option to disable the sidebar or
   header are not showing. I know these are associated with my theme, “The7 w/ Visual
   Composer”.
 * Can you give a snippet, or at least point me in the right direction as how I 
   can fix this? Or is it possible to just duplicate my theme’s content-single.php
   template file and some how import it into CPT UI or get CPT UI to recognize it?

 * Since they are metaboxes and features provided by the The7 theme, their support/
   documentation is probably going to be best for figuring this part out, as a whole.
 * May or may not be much, but I did see something about “Also make sure all required
   modules are enabled in Dashboard > The7 > My The7 > Settings > The7 Post Types
   and Elements.” on [http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/portfolio-benefits-etc-are-gone/](http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/portfolio-benefits-etc-are-gone/)
   which may point to where to go to enable details for custom post types.
 * Regarding a content-single.php, you’d first one to make sure to make a single-{
   $post_type_slug}.php file and whatnot to make sure that gets used for the post
   type in question. Inside single.php is probably a call along the lines of get_template_part(‘
   content’, ‘single’ ); that you’d need to change as well to safely alter for just
   the post type.
 * First and foremost though, I’d contact the theme support. Less customization 
   work potentially.

 * Thank you very much. I contacted the theme developer and they provided me with
   a snippet to add to my function.php file, and it worked perfectly.
